A Replacement Bride

Chapter 273

She was extremely sincere as she uttered those words, while Katherine pursed the corners of her lips, falling silent. Her cold gaze swept over the woman's sickly face as if trying to see through her, and she only withdrew her gaze unhurriedly after a long pause.

Seeing this, Marcus was about to plead on Patricia's behalf again, but before he could open his mouth, he was stopped by Katherine.

"You don't have to speak anymore."

At her words, Marcus felt his heart skip a beat while Patricia's face turned ashen with regret.

Unexpectedly, Katherine gave Lexie a cold glance and said in a deep voice, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take Mrs. Fraser back to her room."

After hearing this, Lexie froze for a moment before her expression turned somewhat embarrassed.

Katherine sensed her concern and revealed a smirk at the corner of her lips. "What's wrong? Are you afraid? I heard that your master treats you well, but why are you so afraid now that they are in trouble?"

Her words were full of sarcasm, causing Lexie to freeze with embarrassment and distress, but she eventually gritted her teeth and stepped forward to assist Patricia in walking back.

Katherine lifted a hand and straightened her cuffs, saying in a languid and breezy manner, "The Fraser Family's condition can't be delayed any longer, especially Mrs. Fraser, so we'll proceed with the treatment now."

Hearing that, Marcus was instantly elated, nearly clapping his hands in glee. "That's great! Miss Cornell, you really are the kindest person in the world!"

"Kind?" She weighed her words before letting out a detached scoff. "That's the first time someone has described me that way. Marcus, you've misjudged me."
